LARBERT, United Kingdom, Oct. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (TSX: NFI, OTC: NFYEF, TSX: NFI.DB) NFI Group Inc. (NFI) a leading independent bus and coach manufacturer and a leader in zero-emission electric mass mobility solutions, subsidiary Alexander Dennis Limited (Alexander Dennis), today announced that Go-Ahead Group subsidiary Go-Ahead London has ordered 32 Enviro100EV small electric buses in the second deal with an operator in the capital for the manufacturer’s next-generation electric buses.
The buses will be used on Transport for London (TfL) services that navigate narrow streets and housing estates, where the Enviro100EV’s compact dimensions of 8.5m length and 2.35m width allow for great maneuverability while also offering room for up to 41 passengers, 21 of them seated.
Go-Ahead London will operate the buses from its Orpington Garage on local routes R1, R3, R4, and R8 as well as route 233 between Eltham and Swanley. All are powered by the medium-duty version of the Voith Electrical Drive System and will have 354kWh batteries, supplied by Impact Clean Power Technology and providing up to 1.2GWh warrantable energy throughput to allow for long operating lives without battery replacement.
“Our Enviro100EV is a great fit for the smallest size of single deck bus operated on behalf of Transport for London, offering a great passenger experience and features of Transport for London’s Bus Safety Standard and combining this with a driveline and batteries designed for longevity,” said Neil Gladstone, National Account Manager for Alexander Dennis. “We’re delighted that Go-Ahead London has chosen the Enviro100EV for its small bus requirements and look forward to delivering these vehicles in early 2025.”
“These vehicles showcase high quality public transport, and we look forward to deploying the Enviro100EV fleet on a series of busy outer London services in 2025,” said Chris McKeown, Go-Ahead London's Engineering Director. “As the capital's most experienced, largest, and innovative zero-emission bus company I have every confidence they will be well received by colleagues and passengers alike.”
“These new buses are a welcome addition, and we look forward to welcoming them to our fleet that already has almost 1,700 zero emission buses. Their compact design makes them ideal for routes with narrower streets and helps passengers choose a sustainable, accessible, and affordable mode of transport,” said Nick Owen, TfL’s Director of Buses. “We encourage our operators to make greener procurement decisions to help us deliver on the Mayor’s commitment to have a 100 per cent zero emission fleet by 2030 and this move by Go-Ahead London is a positive step to achieve it.”
